Procuring an HPC cluster demands careful performance and economic considerations. But it doesn’t stop there. Operating an HPC cluster efficiently is equally important for environmental and economic reasons—and it’s a continuous process that lasts throughout the service life of a cluster.

OpenMP has supported accelerator offload since version 4.0. The Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit (beta) provides support for OpenMP offload with Intel® C, C++, and Fortran compilers. This article shows how to get started with the OpenMP offload directives.

Modern vector CPUs are practically accelerators. But many Intel® CPUs also have an integrated graphics processor that can be used for general-purpose computing. This case study showcases the steps for offloading computations to Intel's low-power accelerator.
